too bad for you

Blimey...a 7.45am start and it's been busy yet this afternoon, in order to create some space, I skip going to a Labour Group meeting and the Children & Families Sub on Quality Standards. Pressure of work and I hate not being able to meet all commitments...

PEP was hectic...no more, no less than hectic. Maybe as many as 40 + people passing through the doors of our open office- all wanting help or answers...and the first day too of a new homecare service which seems to have gone well...

Surgery was full, surprisingly since Monday's are usually slow...usual stuff, nothing out of the ordinary but all important to the individuals involved.

PYCP Board, a very busy agenda complicated (as so many voluntary organisation meetings are at the moment) by anxieties about budgets and the resignation of the manager who is moving on to new challenges

Granton School Parent Partnership - a full house and all concerned about the failure to appoint a new headteacher and the Council's decision not to include cash in the capital budget for the school's refurbishment or replacement. Also news that Granton, too, will have a P1/2 composite class plus very high class numbers in the upper years...32 in P5... a return to the bad old days...

I'm afraid at 8.20pm I faltered and decided to finish the day as I started by skipping whatever remained of Trinity Community Council...the lure of a perfectly grilled steak waiting for me at home...we are down to eating red meat only once per fortnight...I savoured every mouthful but I fear steaks, along with too much booze, salt, saturated fats, complex carbohydrates etc. will soon join the 'too bad for you' list ...sometimes we make life very boring
